Patient's question:
I have never liked eating. I am particularly thin, weighing only 23 kilograms, and I am 138 cm tall. The onset of the illness has always been like this: The results of the detailed examination: Many tests have been done, but there are no abnormalities. The past treatment and effectiveness: Thyroid function and liver function tests were normal, but many appetite-stimulating drugs available on the market had no effect. Trace element tests were normal two years ago, but I haven't had them checked in the past two years. What kind of assistance I need: I hope the experts can diagnose it quickly and give a good solution. I hope my child can gain some weight, and I want him and me to no longer be looked at with strange eyes by others. I want my son to completely eliminate nicknames like "skinny monkey" and "rib" among his classmates, so that he can have confidence.Doctor's answer:
The standard weight for a 9-year-old child should be 26 kilograms, and the standard height should be 133 cm. Your child meets all height requirements, but is 3 kilograms underweight, which may make them look particularly thin. Two years ago, your child was tested for trace elements. As children grow older, their need for nutrients and trace elements increases. If their diet is not well-balanced, it can lead to deficiencies in nutrients and trace elements. It is recommended that you take your child to the hospital for a thorough check-up of trace elements and implement targeted dietary adjustments based on the results. Try to prepare more colorful, fragrant, and flavorful foods for your child on a regular basis. The variety of food should also be diverse, ensuring a balance of meat and vegetables.
